Norm Macdonald's Turtle Joke | Late Night with Conan O’Brien

[@JuJuAndPenny]

My favorite thing about Norm is that he always looks like he's just waiting for everyone else to realize how ridiculous it is that people keep letting him get away with being him.

[@STSGuitar16]

hahaha that's a great way to put it!

[@Lwilibert]

Hahaha yeah!!!

[@flowerpowerworld]

Am i the only one seeing physical resemblance with Kevin Spacey?

[@Smorgasbord.]

Yes. I don't find him funny at all. I've watched a lot of his material since he died and still can't figure out why he was revered.

[@BeyBattleBoy]

@@Smorgasbord. the whole thing that makes him a comedy legend is A) his SNL role B) his ability to just ramble and talk absolute nonsense and still make it entertaining and hook you. His ability just to subvert your expectations with some absurd seemingly completely unrelated punchline with a ridiculously over explained setup never feels to make me smirk like an idiot.

[@kevinmccabe741]

I'm convinced the real joke was the "what" knowing he would get questioned about a random turtle being there

[@NBAClips0]

the thing about his jokes is that he makes u laugh all the way through ... the punchline at the end is usually not important

[@alvareo92]

My theory is he wanted to release the tension because there was mostly a silence instead of a big laugh to the turtlebox

[@kevinmccabe741]

@@alvareo92 Less funny but that does also make sense

[@dragunkiller360]

He really liked using the contrivance of typical joke structure to great effect like that. He had a real knack for stripping a joke down to its barest components and then reassembling it by matching the irreverence of the joke with the irreverence of his delivering it in such a bizarre context

I get the sense that Norm forgot to work in a detail about why he had the turtle. If I had to guess, that "what" was him winking at Conan that he screwed up.

[@malcolmrjmcleod]

Honestly, I was super confused and sad when Norm MacDonald didn't make an appearance on one of the last Conan episodes but him being in the late stages of cancer totally makes sense why he was absent. I'm sure Conan reached out and was probably one of the few that was clued in on the fact that Norm was not doing well. Even watching one of the last videos Norm posted on his instagram, it's clear he was sick. Norm was a GOAT and he'll be missed. RIP. I'm glad Conan and his team are uploading these gems.

Conan was always Norm's best interviewer. Conan instinctively knew when to stop being the comedian and switch to being Norm's straight man.

[@sarcasm-83]

Agreed, Conan's actually a great interviewer in that regard, as he very often knows how to play into the guests doing their thing in the best way possible, instead of getting in the way. Him and Graig Ferguson are my favs for that same reason really..

[@Galantski]

"Oh, last time," he goes, "last time I won a ...I won a roast beef on a hard roll".........It was _a turtle!_ Stating the ridiculously obvious after other comics would have stopped at the standard punchline is classic and put Norm so far above the common standup. 3:09

@@wadball Then more Norm genius when he "corrects" Conan: _"It wasn't a joke."_ 3:33

[@Mythraen]

What's noteworthy isn't just that he gave the punchline. We all learn as little kids not to do that. But Norm gets away with it because he waits until he's sure _everyone_ gets the joke, they've processed it, they're ready for the next thing _and then_ Norm tells the punchline. It's the subversion of expectations at such a high level.

I like at 3:36, "It wasn't a joke!", it's very typically Norm... R.I.P.

[@InfinitelyQurious]

"Guy must have gone out and ate it." And that, folks, is why Norm Macdonald was a legend. You thought you heard the punchline, but that was the punchline.

Norm explaining the joke is one of his best bits

[@Tteok-bokki-gum]

Cant stop hearing his jokes even its more than 40 mins long. Lol

The fact that these old clips are now being uploaded in full quality is awesome for us Norm freaks who have been watching 360p bootleg quality clips for years. Amazed but not amazed by the recent outpouring of gratitude for Norm's comedy.

RIP Norm. I'm sure you're serving a 'youthful porpoise' somewhere in heaven.
